This does not replace the main keyboard

Its unfortunately an Apple issue, and doubly so as the app makes for a fantastic keyboard. If Apple ever pulls allows third party keyboards I will btw this immediately, but I cannot recommend this until then.

Disappointed

I am very disappointed because I paid the money for really nothing! I through I can use this keyboard for everything on my watch, like got text messages and can quick answer by typing work with this keyboard or open messenger and text to someone, but it doesn’t work like that. You need to open this app on watch, type the text and than send just to my contacts. Which is why i would want to do that if i have phone. I needed keyboard for quick answer. I want money back!

Hi, unfortunately Apple doesn't allow 3rd party keyboards to work in this way. If you'd like further support, or to request a refund, please email support@adamfoot.dev

T9 Predict

Please please please add a setting to enable actual t9 predict! This app is a useless waste of money without being able to single tap the buttons. 🙏🏻

Hi, I have no control over how long it takes to install on Apple Watch. Please email info@adamfoot.dev if you have other issues but for this, you’ll need to contact Apple Support.

T9 not working

The advertised function of T9 keyboard is not working at all! When typing on the app’s keyboard the letters of a word on your watch, the app is NOT recognising those letters and is not switching it into a useful word (like T9 works). Only because of this practical feature for the apple watch I downloaded this app. Disappointing that it doesn’t work :(

Hi, this app is advertised as a T9 style keyboard but I’ll be looking to add this in a future update. UPDATE: This feature is now available! Please update to the latest version and consider updating your review. Thanks, Adam

Crashes immediately on WatchOS 7

I get one or maybe two letters into the keyboard before it crashes back to the watch face of my Series 4.

Application doesn’t work with iphone 11 pro

Took the money and claimed they can’t do anything, thieves..because they are simply bluffing the public. I really don’t understand how apple accept to advertise their product.

Hi, as explained in the email your issue is with the Apple Messages app... I don’t work on that app as I don’t work at Apple. Apple have their own support app or website that you can use to contact them and get help from. If you are unaware on how to do that, I think maybe it’s best you keep away from using technology going forwards and not throwing your toys out the pram when things go wrong. Thanks for taking your time to write a review and email me, just a shame you don’t listen to what I’ve said to you.

Lobe it - BUT

i love this app! the only thing that really bothers me is that you can't reply in group chats at imessage. will this function be made up soon?

Hi, Unfortunately this is a bug with the Messages app and not this one. Hopefully Apple fixes the issue so that your problem can be solved. Thanks UPDATE: This should now be fixed in watchOS 7. If you have the chance, please consider updating your review. Thanks! :)

Probably the best t9 for a watch

I really like the t9 feature. I purchased the bundle just in case I’d want a full keyboard as well. The only downside is there no true t9 prediction. If I didn’t have to hit each key multiple times to scroll through letters it would be awesome

Um wow, not very impressive

Did I just pay for this? Immediately, I regret that choice. The T9 version doesn’t work like the old phones did by predicting text. Not sure what this version does actually except take my money.

The other app, well that stinks as well. The watch just isn’t meant for a full keyboard. The touch sensitivity on an iwatch screen isn’t that detailed. Well, that is what I assume based on how poorly this app works on my watch.

The surprising thing is that this app was recommend from then apple news feed that I receive in my email. Time to unsubscribe to that nonsense as well.

Developer - you seem to be onto something. I certainly was hoping. Refine it and make it work.

Thank you for the positive review! :)

T9 oui, mais sans prédiction...

Je pensais qu’il y aurait, comme sur nos anciens téléphones, la prédiction avec le t9, ce qui nous permettait de taper super vite, et bien non, donc clavier quasiment inutile. dommage...

Hi, sorry about this! Predictive text will be out in the next update :) UPDATE: Predictive text is now available! It would be great if you could update your review :)

Great for Apple Watch!

This is a perfect keyboard solution for the Apple Watch! My only complaint would be the lack of predictive text (which hopefully will be a future feature), but as it is it certainly is a nice compact way to type on a small screen like the Apple Watch.

Thank you for the positive review! Predictive Text will be available soon! UPDATE: Predictive text is now available!

Huge potential!

In theory this app is killer to make texting on the watch better, but in practice there are a few things it needs to be really functional.
1) Predictive text. If suggested words came up this would be excellent! Currently it’s a little frustrating to type out the whole word.
2) Any chance this app could be embedded into messages as an option to reply with?

Great job Adam. Hope you can implement these changes 👍

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a review! Predictive text will be coming soon (I’ve already added it to Feature Phone’s sister app Shift Keyboard so will be similar to that). As for Messages integration, unfortunately Apple doesn’t allow that on Apple Watch at this moment in time so is not something I can implement. Please consider updating your review when I add Predictive Text sometime in the New Year! UPDATE: Predictive text now available! It would be great if you could update your review :)

Review

I have tried and tried and tried to install this keyboard on my iPhone but I can't. Why?

Hi, could you please email info@adamfoot.uk and we’ll go through some troubleshooting steps.

Basically useless for phone calls.

This keyboard is not easy to use, especially for phone calls. The watch is looking for a format that could not be entered and will not complete the call. I wanted it for easy phone calls and it did not deliver.
